"(lastknownactiveyear,basedon14yearsatElFarolitostartingin1974)" can not be assigned to a declared number type with value 1988.

Founded by pianist Ángel D'Agostino, this Orquesta Típica emerged in the early 1930s after years of D'Agostino’s experience in silent film accompaniment and collaborations with major tango figures. Gaining national prominence in the 1940s, the orchestra is best remembered for its partnership with singer Ángel Vargas, producing 94 recordings that became cornerstones of tango’s Golden Age. Their performances in venues such as the cabaret Casanova, Teatro Paris, and on major radio programs defined an elegant, melodic tango style that favored lyrical phrasing over rhythmic aggression.
